Would it be possible to fix that? I mean it would be nice to have the
inline functionality of lhs2tex.

Yes, I realize that. Maybe it would be possible only to use the parser for
inline code and spec-blocks? For monochrome output?

Yes, but the problem remains that lhs2tex processes the inline code and
agda doesn't.
